Gall bladder pain can mimic the symptoms of a heart attack.

My wife had gallstones some years back. Can confirm.

My girlfriend is currently on her way to the hospital in Jackson. The EMT ruled out a heart attack, but we'll see what's going on there.

glad everything seems to be OK, but from personal experience, I can promise you that an EMT can not rule out a heart attack.

when I had my heart attack, pretty much everything looked "normal". Blood Pressure, heart rate, even the EKG all looked right.
everything looked normal enough that hospital was in the process of preparing me to leave with a "panic attack" type diagnosis.

then my blood work came back and the cardiologist told me I was having a heart attack and had to have an emergency angioplasty to clean out some blockages.

I don't remember which protein it is in the blood work, but that protein spiking is what signaled that it was a heart attack.

without that blood work, you can't rule it out.
